Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya Pakistan welcomes the Election Commission’s decision in declaring seeking vote in the name of sect as cognizable offence ISLAMABAD, April 16: Dr. Syed Bu Ali Naqvi, Coordinator for Election 2013 of Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya Pakistan welcoming the Election Commission’s decision in declaring seeking vote in the name of sect as cognizable offence said the decision could only be considered a right step when registration of some three dozen terrorist groups taking part in elections is cancelled and noose is tightened against the banned groups implementing the Anti-Terrorism Act under Articles 62 and 63. He stated this while addressing the emergent meeting of the Committee that took stock of the contacts with different political parties in connection with the oncoming elections. Dr. Bu Ali Naqvi made it clear that the TNFJ did not fielded any candidate from any constituency of the National or Provincial Assemblies on the directive of Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi. However, he added, being the first class citizens of Pakistan, the votes of the followers of the Maktab-e-Tasheyyo will be decided after completion of political contacts with those parties on National and Provincial levels that will provide written assurance on our Charter of Demands. He said Pakistan came into being under the Two-Nation Theory because like atheists are one nation similarly Islam is also one nation that is what Basic ideologyis while Islam condemns all types of sectarianism and biases. He said Hippocratic and sectarian politics in Pakistan began in Zia era during which people belonging to different sects and languages were pitched against each other and it was announced to turn Pakistan into a State of a particular group contrary to the Basic ideologybut the Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya thwarted this conspiracy terming it contrary to the Nazria-e-Asaasi. He said Islam is a complete constitution of life that is why is considered as religion what Quran strictly condemns sectarianism that is why the Quaid-i-Millat Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi had announced, even in the Zia era, that fielding candidates in the name of sect, language and race and using the name of the Maktab for their success is poisonous for the nation and the country. He said those powers that had declared Pakistan as ‘Kufristan’ and the Quaid-i-Azam as ‘Kafir-e-Azam’ had on the occasion of losing one half of Pakistan had said that “Thanks God, we were not a party in creation of Pakistan” and Indira Gandhi had said, “We have sunk the Pakistan Ideology in the Bay of Bengal”. He said the anti-Pakistan forces were utilizing all their energy in fanning biases after the Russian break-up and 9/11 incident but the Sunni-Shia Makatib-e-Islam have proved that we could be murdered but we will not allow anyone to murder Islam and Pakistan. Dr. Naqvi expressed grave concern that different parties have started using names of Sharia, the Holy Quran, Ahle Bait (PBUH), and Sahaba Kubaar (R.A.) for political gains that is a conspiracy to push the country towards civil war. They all should become the shield for the honour and dignity of Sha’air Allah and Mashaheer-e-Islam but these holy names and personalities are being used as a shield for political gains instead. That is why, he added, the Tehreek Nafaz Fiqh-e-Jafariya has openly announced not to field candidates in the name of sect or language. However, voters will be provided with necessary guideline and so that they can vote such candidates who are protectors of basic ideology, and sincere with the country, support Quaid-i-Azam and Allama Iqbal and will ensure and provide guarantee to fulfil the rights of the Maktab-e-Tasheyyo on the basis on equality. A resolution adopted during the meeting demanded from the Election Commission to cancel such electoral symbols that are being misused by some candidates by attaching them with holy personalities and taburrakaat because the party allotted ‘book’ is attaching it with Holy Quran, the party allotted ‘khaima’ is attaching it with the ‘Khaima-e-Hussain’, which is not right by any means. The resolution said that Pakistan was not achieved by Sunni, Shia brethren in the name of sect but in the name of Islam but today some parties do not consider others, except themselves, as Muslims and are using Islam as a political shield and the patriotic forces will have to thwart this trend jointly while the Election Commission and the Supreme Court should play their due role towards this end.
